Abstract

Waste management on small islands has challenges, low awareness of the community and culture, limited land, seasonal changes and appropriate waste management technology. Moreover, Penyengat Island is an object of cultural preservation and tourist destination. The purpose of the case study is the small tourist island of Penyengat, Tanjungpinang in waste management through the role of stakeholders and community participation. This type of research is qualitative, and data are obtained by semi-structured interviews and observations. Interviews were conducted with 21 stakeholders in the small island waste management system. (government, private sector, public, universities and professional organizations). Waste management at the location of destisation and cultural preservation requires synergy from all stakeholders including the community. There needs to be a form of compensation for environmental services in tourism development so that an eco tourism tourism package is formed. There is a balance between ecological, economic and social aspects.
